“As the world recovered from the aftermath of COVID, this group has been responsible for bringing life back to our clubs and activities,” Anderson said of East Windsor’s Class of 2023. “They have fought to bring back school pride to our building and community. They have been persistent in encouraging school spirit and school involvement, and they fought within themselves to regain a sense of normalcy during pivotal years in their lives.”
Anderson’s remarks could equally apply to all 2023 North Central Connecticut graduates.
Enfield High School Principal Erin Clark also praised EHS’s resilient seniors saying, “Whether it is our annual pep rally or the volleyball tournament, the seniors are very spirited and competitive when it comes to school activities. ... They are compassionate about helping others through community service projects and building awareness through various campaigns. They have led efforts to build awareness of issues such as supporting student’s mental health.”
